Fewer Hours with Faster Work.

] am not an advocate of the eight
hour system. do not think that even
the ten'hour or any other fixed time
system can he put into effect uron the
farm. The manufacturer can and does
work ahead of the selling season, filling
his storerooms. But we can not plant
before the ground is warmed, cultivate
before il is dried, or harvest before the
grain is ripcncd. Hence at some times
we are comuellcd to work more hours
per day than at others. Besides, nearly
all flrm work is out of doors and hence
subject to the weather.
MANY days we can not work at all at
that which needs to be done, and to
make up for lost time we must work
longer hours when the weather permits.
And yet l am certain that the number
of hours ~ field could he reduced to
advantage. | remember that when |
